Bhakti

Sometimes mind deliberates about existence of a Supernatural power.
Is there a reason to believe in His existence.
Being a believer I scoff at such rationalizations and feel that
one needs to move beyond the confines of this world and its reasonings
and believe that reasoning won't get us there.
Yet the scoffing at reasoning is in a way a reasoning

And then out of nowhere one sees examples of piety, men who did not reason,
but did, surrendered without any reason
One listens to songs of devotion that touch the heart
And bring about the spirit of surrender without asking a doubt,
without a word of protest

and one such song is from the film Baiju Bawra...probably the best devotional song
ever composed in film industry

Hari Ooom
Harrrii Oooom
Hareeeeeeeeeee Oouuuuuuuummmmm
Hariii Ooooooom

Man tarpat Hari Darsan ko aaj
Man tarpat Hari Darsan ko aaj

More tum bin bigade sakal kaaj
Hooooo ooooooH
Binati karat hoon rakhiyon laaj

Man tarpat Hari Darsan ko aaj

The pitch of this song strikes straight into the heart and it feels like a divine revelation to a believer

The song has been written, composed and sung with devotional fervor that one cannot remain untouched by it

And thats where the most interesting fact about this song emerges...this song, one of the best Hindu devotional compositions in the film industry was written by Shakeel Badayuni, composed by Naushad and sung in that soulful voice by Mohammad Rafi. Truly Bhakti knows no barriers of religion.
